Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences. Mrs. Reynolds was generous to my mother and I as I was growing up. She welcomed us in her home and fed us. I will always cherish those good days. Her humor and laughter will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to you all. Ms Barbara always cracked me up. I was in my mid 20´s just starting out at Albert Harris. Ms Barbara was a wonderful co-worker. I will always cherish my years and "Family" from Albert Harris. May God comfort and watch over you in the coming days, weeks and months ahead. Many hugs, thoughts and prayers.
